1976 Lancia Fulvia 1.3

July 2, 2014 Graham

For car enthusiasts in the US, waiting 25 years for a car to become legal to import can be excruciating. But dial back to the 1960s and 1970s and there’s plenty of interesting cars that are rare on these shores that you could import with zero hassles. One of my favorites is the Lancia Fulvia Coupe. For a design from the 1960s it was exceptionally clean and minimalistic and hid some advanced technology underneath, such as front-wheel drive and a 5-speed gearbox. This later 1976 Fulvia was recently imported from Italy and was recently given a respray.

Vintage Lancias, like Saabs, have always been the thinking man’s classic in my estimation. Probably not surprising, then, that Lancia and Saab created a joint venture by way of the Lancia Integrale and Saab-Lancia 600 in the early 1980s, respectively. Even with front-wheel drive, the Fulvia is a great handling classic and a hoot to drive on a rally stage. Expect to pay in the mid $20,000 range for a good Fulvia, with exceptional ones these days reaching into the $30,000 bracket.

1973 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S

May 18, 2014 Graham

Lancia has been in a period of decline since the mid 1990s. Around that time the rally legend, the Delta Integrale, disappeared. Since then, the lineup has consisted of Fiat rehashes and more recently, rebadged Chryslers. Now with news that Fiat is restricting Lancia sales to Italy, it seems the writing is on the wall and this is another marque that will disappear. For now, let's enjoy some of the classics, like this 1973 Fulvia 1.3S for sale in Florida.

It's often said that the 1970s were a sort of wasteland of car design. While the Fulvia's origins date from the 1960s, this car lasted well into the 1970s and was an exercise in restrained elegance. For a while, these Fulvias hovered in the realm of affordability, but like many classic cars, prices are on the rise. We featured a 1976 Fulvia 1.3S last month for sale at $22,000. Most Fulvias of this vintage and trim level can be had in the low to mid $20,000 range, so this one at $30,000 is certainly testing the waters. If it's as good in person as it looks in pictures, this one may be worth a premium.

1976 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S

April 3, 2014 Graham 1 Comment

There are few cars prettier, in my opinion, than the Lancia Fulvia Coupe. So delicate are the details of this car that you barely notice how small this two-door really is until you get right up on it. But beauty also lies beyond the surface in this case, with an innovative narrow angle V-4 engine, 5-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive that gave this car the prowess it needed to dominate on the rally circuit. Fulvias are few and far between in the US, but this one just arrived via Italy and is looking for a good home.

PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL I do not check it often.

These Lancia Fulvias are one of the best kept secrets of the classic Italian car game. While they may not have the rear drive handling characteristics of the Alfa Romeo 105/115 GT and GTV coupes, it has similarly handsome lines and an engineering pedigree that predates the Fiat/Lancia merger. The asking price is just about right for what appears to be a very nicely kept example, as the high end for Fulvias of similar vintage tend to hover around the mid to high $20,000 range.

1969 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S

June 15, 2013 Graham 1 Comment

The Lancia Fulvia is perhaps my most favorite Italian classic. Not only does this little coupe have timeless looks and feature impressive engineering, it has a racing resume that puts other cars to shame. While the smart money for an Italian sports coupe of the era may be on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta GTV, the Fulvia is for someone who doesn’t conform and appreciates Lancia’s bold way of going about things. This beautifully restored Fulvia 1.3S is on offer from our friends at the Sports Car Shop in Eugene, Oregon.

CLICK FOR DETAILS:1969 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S

We have for offer a lovely Italian 1969 Lancia Fulvia Sport 1.3S. A very unique car from a styling viewpoint with design details that convert what have been a functional boxy shape to a visually pleasing piece of art. It possesses a roomy cockpit, with excellent visibility and open greenhouse. Even more unique is Lancia’s approach to the engineering of the car. The engine is a rally proven 15 degree V-4 twin cam fitted with twin Solex carbs. The entire engine is located in front of the axle center line providing exceptional handling to this front wheel drive sports coupe. The steering is still light and responsive with no clues that the front wheels are the driven ones. This is a wonderfully nimble, excellent handling car with more performance than expected. A very capable competitor to Alfa Romeo and BMW’s of the period but much rarer. This car has undergone a recent ground up restoration on a very solid chassis. Every component was removed cleaned, serviced, and refinished. The engine starts easily, makes only the proper sounds, and runs well. The gearbox shifts well in all four gears and the brakes and clutch operate properly. Steering is accurate and very light. This is a driver’s car. The chassis was refinished top, bottom, in trunk, and engine bay. The body panels, floor pans and rockers appear to be all original, and are very solid and rust free. The red paint is well applied marred only by some very small parking dings and slight waves in some of the flatter panels. The interior has also been restored. The dash is in excellent condition and is nicely finished. The seats are nicely formed and comfortable. There is room for a six foot plus person to fit comfortably in this car. Even if one could find a solid car to start with, no one could duplicate this car for the selling price.

Call me anytime on my cel to discuss: 541.543.6791

There’s not much to nit pick about with this car. It’s about one of the nicest Fulvias that I’ve come across here in the US. Anyone looking to add one of these rare, legendary vehicles to their stable should certainly entertain the idea of at least kicking the tires on this one. Unlike the Alfa GTV, Fulvia values are a bit less, mostly attributed to their obscurity in the US market. I’d suspect somewhere around the low to mid $20,000 range is about right considering the condition of this vehicle. The only thing that makes me said is I’m on the wrong coast. This is certainly one of those bucket list cars for me.

1967 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S

August 12, 2012 Graham 1 Comment

The Lancia Fulvia is without a doubt my favorite Lancia of all time and possibly one of my most favorite Italian cars. I've raved about this car before here in CICFS, but this is the oldest Fulvia we've featured yet, Oldest Fulvia we've featured. Designed in house by Piero Castagnero and introduced in 1965, this small coupe was where Lancia's status as a rally champion began. This 1.3S for sale in Washington is a prime example of one of Italy's lesser known heros.

1967 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S

What is being offered here is a 1967 Lancia Fulvia 1.3 Ralley Coupe that belongs to a client. He actually owns 2 of them and has decided to part with one. The car is in very good, what I would call a great club car condition. Very straight over all very complete and for the most part correct. No signs of ever having been in an accident. I can only find two areas that seem to have had rust. one is the bottom of the passenger fender (see picture) and the passenger floor pan has been replaced at some point as well. The rest of the underside looks quite original and in good condition.

Receipts with the car totaling over $11,000. would show that in the last two years the engine has been overhauled and brakes rebuilt among other things. I know that my client has well over $18,000. invested in this car, so his loss can be your gain. The car has very presentable paint. The engine compartment is tidy and lightly detailed. The interior is very nice seats clearly reupholstered and to a very high standard, the dash top has been recovered, and the wood face on the dash is the nicest I have ever seen in a Fulvia (and I have seen a lot of them over the years).

The odometer shows 40,522 miles, I am guessing that is 140522 since the odometer maxes out at 99,999. miles. VIN # 818 330 006968. The car runs, drives and stops very well, and starts easily. The steering is nice and the front end does not seem to have any excessive play. Is this a perfect Concours example No, but it is a very good example and one I would not be ashamed to own, it would be hard if not impossible to duplicate a car as good as this at this price. Happy to help arrange shipping for the new owner but all shipping cost will be at the expense of the new owner.

The Buy it Now price of $17,500 is about bang on in terms of value for a clean, well maintained Fulvia, especially considering the recent maintenance done. I'm always surprised that these Fulvias aren't as valuable as the Alfa GTV from the same era, but perhaps their obscurity holds them back a bit. Still, for a car with such a storied rallying career, I tend to think values on these cars have nowhere to go but up.

The following is a short feature from Deutsche Welle TV regarding the rally version of the Fulvia, the 1.6 HF:

1972 Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1.3S

July 24, 2012 Graham

We featured a Fulvia Zagato at the very beginning of the month, but the more I keep eyeing these stylish little sports cars, the closer they are to securing a place on my automotive bucket list. With narrow angle V4 engine mounted at a 45 degree angle, they certainly lived up to the unique engineering solutions Lancia was famous for. This one for sale in Florida is a bit toned down in silver, but the color looks sharp with the black seats and red carpeting.

1972 Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1.3S

1972 Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1.3S Series II 5-speed. Good condition, everything works including rear window motor. Body excellent shape, no dents or dings. Runs well, no mechanical problems. Good original interior. Good electrical system, three owners from new. We have complete documentation. The miles are marked in the velocimeter 31,580 (19,800 miles) but maybe 131,580 (82,000 miles). Had no major accidents. $25,500 firm

Excellent examples of the Fulvia Zagato are closing in on $40,000 these days, so this example in the mid $20k range is just about right. The fact that the owner does not know whether the car has 31,000 or 131,000 km on the clock is a bit disconcerting and raises a few questions regarding the car's history and documentation. If I was in the market, I'd obviously want to examine the complete documentation the vehicle is said to come with to get to the bottom of that question. Otherwise, it looks to be a solid example of a rorty little Italian classic.

1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato 1.3

July 1, 2012 Graham 2 Comments

The Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato is one of those rare instances where most enthusiasts would find the original car more attractive than the one designed by the coach builder. The original Fulvia was so delicately proportioned that it seemed hard to improve on, but that didn't stop Zagato, who had worked with Lancia on a number of vehicles in the past. Envisioned as a light weight competition model, the Fulvia Sport Zagato scored a class win at Daytona in 1969. This particular Fulvia Zagato Sport was restored in Europe in the 1990s and subsequently shipped to the US.

1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato 1.3

1967 Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1.3S. s/n 818650*001015* Eng. no. 818.410-2239540. Red with Black Interior. Always industry leaders in design innovation, Lancia’s Fulvia 1.3 Sport, with front wheel drive, and a narrow angle 1.3 liter V4 engine was no exception. Easy to control with their front wheel drive, and capable of 110 mph, Lancia campaigned Fulvia Sports in international rally and circuit events throughout Europe with great success. In total six different bodies were mounted to Fulvia chassis. The Zagato bodied are generally regarded as the most aesthetically pleasing of all variations.

This particular car has been the subject of a sympathetic restoration in the early 1990s by Lancia expert Franco De Piero in Italy. Best described today as a very nice driver, it has been tastefully fitted with fender and rocker panel flairs, more modern seats with additional side supports and headrests, charcoal carpets, and a more rigid, smaller diameter steering wheel. This gives the car a decidedly sporty feel and appears when compared to a stock Fulvia 1.3. Attesting to the mechanical condition, after the restoration was complete Mr. De Piero drove the car from Italy across mainland Europe to Amsterdam where it was exported to the US.

Cosmetically, the car presents very well. The car has seen a nice repaint in a deep shade of red over straight and solid panels. The interior was re-trimmed at the time of the restoration and also makes a strong impression. The dash top is free of cracks, and the original gauges, switchgear, and gear shift knob remain. The headliner is dyed black and in very good order. The car runs and drives well with good power, minimal smoke, and a nice transaxle. All the gauges appear to work, and the rear hatch opening and closing mechanism is operational. The suspension and steering are compliant, and the brakes effective. With prices now exceeding $650,000 for the 1600cc Alfa Romeo TZs, this is an opportune chance to acquire very presentable, exotic, Zagato bodied, small bore Italian GT before prices on these too soar out of sight in today’s fast moving market. $34,500

At the high end, Fulvia 1300 Sport Zagatos are glancing the $40,000 mark. This example is priced just about right given the restored condition. The modifications may put some purists off, but they aren't too offensive as to take away from the finished product that much. When you consider what other coach built Italian exotics go for, this could possibly be one of the least expensive ways into such a car, while enjoying the unique pleasure of owning a Lancia.

1972 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S

May 22, 2012 Graham 2 Comments

I wasn't your ordinary teenager. When my peers were pouring over tarted up Japanese subcompacts and muscle cars, I had different ideas. I always wanted a Lancia Fulvia. The looks, the oddity of a V4 engine with a 5 speed dogleg gearbox and the rally pedigree were enough to get me hooked. I still haven't experienced the pleasure of owning a Fulvia, or any Italian car, for that matter. Being the determined person I am, however, I know I will achieve that goal someday. Unlike a few Fulvias we've featured recently, this one isn't residing in the old world. It's right here in New York.

1972 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S

This is a absolutely beautiful Red 1972 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S coupe, all restored to its original condition. The 1972 Lancia Fulvia is special because in this year it made automotive history by winning the International Rally Championship. This car is a 5 speed manual transmission and its a blast to drive! This car was professionally maintained in Italy before being shipped by its only owner. The owner is a distinguished Italian gentleman that collects cars. He is a long time member of the Italian racing club Scuderia del Castello Alcamo and this car is his show baby.

That being said this car is in excellent condition. The interior is soft black leather with no rips or tears. The dash has no cracks and the wood is perfect. The body has no rust and the lines of this car are perfectly aligned (as you can see in the pictures). The chrome is in excellent condition around the windows and bumpers. The motor and clutch was restored in Italy before being shipped, since then the car is has been mechanically kept by and well known Italian mechanic and the car has been kept in a temperature controlled garage. Mechanically the car is in excellent condition and no expense has been spared! I want to make sure that you when you bid and buy this car you buy it with confidence! So in an effort to be totally transparent this car is a 9.5 out of 10. It has does have a rip on the roof lining 3 inches long, the lining is original and it was white and a little dirty. The paint has some minor chips, under a half inch and less then 5. The rocker panel chrome is a little worn (I'll post the picture). If you Google this car, 1972 Lancia Fulvia you will see what they are going for! This car reserve will be way way below what most people want for this car.

Average prices for Fulvias that reside stateside are averaging around the $15,000 to $20,000, with the very best examples reaching into the $20,000 range. Enthusiasts in the US are beginning to recognize just how significant these vehicles are and soon you'll see values of these trend closer to the legendary Alfa Romeo GTV Coupes. If this car could be had for right around the $15,000 mark, it would be a smart buy and a very savvy way to get into the hobby of classic Italian car ownership. It certainly is well presented and shows little in the way of modification.

And the exhaust note is intoxicating...

1971 Lancia Fulvia 1.3s

December 10, 2011 Graham

The Lancia Fulvia was where Lancia began it's amazing run in the International Rally Championship, winning the title in 1972. Not only that, this is possibly one of the most gorgeous two door coupes to emerge from the 1970s. It's an interesting car that has an interesting engine; a narrow angle V4 mounted at a 45 degree angle, using one single cylinder head. Mint condition Fulvias are rather rare in the US, and I was surprised to see one for sale nearby in Washington, D.C.

1971 Lancia Fulvia 1.3s on eBay

Here we have a very rare Lancia 1.3S Fulvia. Nice, straight, rust free car that has been owned for the last 30+ years by a local collector. Paint has a few chips, nicks, and cracks but is still very presentable. Body fit is very good and no accidents ever. Interior seats, door panels, are all new correct leather. Dash is origianl and has a crack along the passenger side but the face is quite nice. Headliner and carpets are also very good. Gauges are in excellent shape and all function well. Engine has been professionally maintained its whole life and is very strong. New clutch, slave and brake master cylinder were recently rebuilt.

Overall mechanics of the car are very, very good. Gearbox is tight and all synchros are nice. Car is a blast to drive. Front wheel drive makes for a thrilling ride on a twisty road. Just a rare italian sports coupe that is becoming hard to find in this country.

These Fulvias are one of my favorite Italian vehicles of all time. It's a very small car, but its delicate details make it appear sleeker and larger than it actually is. This car has appeared before on eBay, and the asking price of $21,000 is not cheap, but if you want one of the best Fulvias currently on sale in the United States, this is it.

1971 Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1.3S

September 14, 2011 Graham

Just up the road from me, this Fulvia Zagato 1.3S is for sale in Portland, Oregon. The 1.3L engine puts out a bit over 100hp originally and weighs about 2000lbs, which should be a pretty entertaining drive. But I really don't care how fast it is because it's spectacular just to look at. What an awesome looking front end, for 1971 especially.

The author's description of the car:

Too many cars and moving to a smaller place. I don't want to but must sell this wonderful car. The car was purchased in Florence Italy in 2003 and imported to Portland, Oregon. In 2003 and 2004 most everything was redone. The engine and transmission were overhauled by Veloce Motors in Gervais, Oregon and the car had a total repaint to original color. The seats and dash were repaired. This car is beautiful and ready to enjoy now. I have all reciepts since 2003. The engine has only 6000 miles since the overhaul (new .020 oversize pistons, new eng bearings, timing chain, valves, guides, seals, water pump ect) . This car has: 1300cc V-4 , 5 speed transmission (new bearings and synchros & new clutch), new shocks, new brake pads, new windshield seals, new headliner, freash service.

Altough this seems like a restoration it is not. However almost everthing that needed to be done has been done. The reserve price is much lower than the buy it now price, which is also a bargin. Don't wait to bid, just hit buy it now and you won't lose out on an outstanding value in a wonderful classic (that you won't have to spend $40,000 on a restoration).

A very sharp little sports car and small, and weird little cars are hot right now. This would be a fun addition to someone's collection.
